METALLICA’s hit single “Master Of Puppets” was appointed for the drama “Stranger Things: The Unknown World”. The latest bullet that will also be the end of 2022 (?), which has attracted attention for its super-superb full pro shot series, is now available.
This work was filmed “July 28, 2022 in Chicago”. It is a multi-camera pro shot when appearing at “Lollapalooza”, which is now one of the world’s largest super huge festivals. As you may know if you have noticed this article, this year’s METALLICA has a series of official professional shots. It will be the ninth work in this work. Moreover, the position of this work is slightly different from the past. In order to explain the meaning, let’s look back at the schedule once again.
・ February 25: Las Vegas performance
・ April 27-May 12: South America (6 performances) ← * 6 works
・ May 27th + 29th: North America # 1 (2 performances)
・ June 15-July 8: Europe (11 performances) ← * 2 works
・July 28-August 14: North America #2 (3 performances) ← Coco
This is METALLICA in 2022. All six South American performances at the beginning of the tour were professional shots and caused a shock, but even in the subsequent “European” leg, two works “PINKPOP 2022 (Shades 1549)” and “ROCK WERCHTER 2022 (Shades 1562)” appeared. It was an unprecedented pro shot big harvest. However, there are no professional shots from “North America # 1”, and “North America # 2” has only 3 performances. As expected, it will stop already … This work appeared when I thought so. Speaking of “Lollapalooza”, it is nostalgic that the first participation in 1996 caused a heated debate, but now it has expanded to festivals made in other countries. It was also held in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and France this year, but METALLICA appeared in the origin Chicago performance. In other words, it is a home country pro shot that is neither South America nor Europe.
“It’s also meaningful to explain the situation so slowly.” The quality of this work is the best masterpiece realized only in North America. If you have experienced even one of the eight works, you may think, “Is there anything more possible?” The point is camera work. It’s a multi-camera that constantly changes the point of view, but every scene is a picture because each cut is carefully laid down. Not only the contrast between the stage and the crowd, but also the contrast between the distant view of Chicago and the venue, the contrast between the huge screen and the distant view, the contrast between the content of the screen image and the member, and the composition and placement balance within one screen are also very good. very beautiful. Every cut is so perfect that it could be made on a CD cover, but it moves and moves, and it’s strangely dynamic because it changes the viewpoint in 3D. America is the home of entertainment, and one of the largest festivals in the world, Lollapalooza. It is a transcendent visual beauty that can only be called a “true official class” that is different from the “official class” that has simply been talked about in terms of image quality / sound quality.
The most well-balanced full show ever drawn with such aesthetic quality. Let’s get things sorted out here.
● Cliff era (7 songs)
・Blood-Stained Hammer: Whiplash/Seek & Destroy
・Ride the Lightning: Creeping Death/For Whom The Bell Tolls/Fade To Black
・Metal Master: Battery/Master Of Puppets
After that (9 songs)
The Black Album: Enter Sandman/Wherever I May Roam/Nothing Else Matters/Sad But True
・Other: One / The Memory Remains / Whiskey In The Jar / Dirty Window / Moth Into Flame
… and it looks like this. There is no rare song that will appear for the first time on this day, but the comprehensiveness is wonderful. “The Memory Remains”, “Whiskey In The Jar”, “Dirty Window” and a wide range of selections from each era, but the miso is that each one stops at one song. The main axis is the slash songs of the first three works and the masterpieces of the “Black Album”. While kicking off the opening “Whiplash”, the expression changes to heavy and melodic at key points. With the skill of the flow, you can enjoy the culmination of “fast and colorful 40 years”.
Two more performances are scheduled for 2022. Although it is not certain yet, perhaps this work will be the final work of the full pro shot big harvest. It is a masterpiece where you can enjoy the definitive quality and show that is suitable for it. One piece that embodies “the true hit appears late”. Please enjoy it to the fullest!
★ Multi-camera pro shot of “July 28, 2022 Lollapalooza Performance”. There is only one of the world’s leading gigantic festivals, and the quality is completely official grade … that’s all. The point is the camera work, and every scene becomes a picture after being carefully worked out. All the cuts are so perfect that they could be made into a CD jacket, but they move and are strangely dynamic. While the show is a wide selection from each era, the main axis is the first three works and the “Black Album”. It is an aesthetic level professional shot that you can enjoy the culmination of “fast and versatile 40 years”.
